Background:

Massive acetabular defects remain an unresolved challenge in revision arthroplasty surgery of the hip. We report on 7 patients treated with custom made acetabular components to manage these massive boney defects.

Methods:

After high resolution CT scans were done, custom made implants were designed in collaboration between the surgeons and the manufacturer. All implants matched the bony defects as designed.
